Is the analysis easy to use?

It couldn't be easier. The founder of Plimsoll developed the model so that all directors had a means of understanding a company's health and prospects – not just those with an accounting qualification. He knew that everyone could benefit from spotting companies that are heading for danger, those growing rapidly but suffering low margins, those most likely to fail and much more. Using a series of easy to understand, clearly labelled charts and simple written summaries he developed a model that empowered its reader and gave an instant opinion on every company from the large multinational to the tiniest operation. With the analysis being delivered in our online, interactive format, we can also ensure we keep you up to date with the latest changes in the market with continuously updated analysis.
